Thinkin about getting a Z

mhcoss · 02-27-2012, 01:39 PM

Yeah i've heard the stereo is nothing exciting. I'm not getting the car for the stereo though. If anyone does buy a car for the stereo I question their priorities. With that said, I plan on putting a solid aftermarket stereo in it that will sound far and away better then any factory stereo

I found the BOSE system is pretty bad on player CD/MP3, but when I play music from the MP3 player or my phone through the AUX-IN, it actually plays pretty good and clear sounds.

Yeah Ive found the same thing, playing my ipod sounds 10x better than playing a cd.

There is a huge amount of information on the forum regarding audio systems. For 1k most people are going to tell you it's going to be hard to put a system together. 1k should get you a HU and some speakers. But the whole shabang for 1k might be difficult. The rear speakers on the Z (non touring) are fake, but with the size of the Z 2 good front speakers sound great.

Others on the forum can really give you more information than I can.

Congrats on the car!

I'll check around in the forums. Looks like I'll have to go with a head unit and some speakers first then.

Finding a head unit looks like a job....

I'll get some up this weekend. Stealth has been in the garage all winter, she's a dirty girl atm. The two of them together should look purty.
